[Intro ]
D Dmaj7 C G
[Verso 1]
D
Well I, I woke up one morning
Dmaj7
With everything I own around me
Cmaj7
I had a pocket full of money
G
And a cold and empty heart
D
I spent a lifetime chasing rainbows
Dmaj7
Watching life go by through windows
Cmaj7
And I bet a rich man's fortune
G
On this worthless house and cars
[Pré-Refrão]
Em A
It took me way too long to find
Em
That the best things in life are free
A
And the rest ain't worth a dime
[Refrão]
D
I need more of what matters
F#m7
Every moment that I have it
G G C
'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go
D
If spinning wheels and climbing ladders
F#m7
Is all there is, well, then I'd rather
G
Go to heaven empty-handed
Gm
Knowing that I got it right
Em7
I need more of what matters
A D Dmaj7 C
More of what really matters in my life
G
And it got me thinking
[Verso 2]
D Dmaj7
Hey, whatever happened to sunshine and roses
C G
And walking down a dirt road on a lazy summer day?
D Dmaj7
Or supper with the family after early church on Sunday?
C G
You know, ain't all that funny how the time just slips away?
[Pré-Refrão]
Em A
It took me way too long to find
Em
That the best things in life are free
A
And the rest ain't worth a dime
[Refrão]

I need more of what matters
F#m7
Every moment that I have it

'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go
